Omagh inquiry told pace of disclosure ‘must increase’

The Real IRA bomb in the County Tyrone town in August 1998 killed 29 people, including a woman who was pregnant with twins, in the worst single atrocity in the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

The speed of disclosure to the Omagh Bombing Inquiry “must increase”, counsel to the proceedings has said.

The Omagh Bombing Inquiry, chaired by Andrew Turnbull, is hearing opening statements from core participants including representatives of bereaved families, victims, the PSNI, and the secretary of state for Northern Ireland.
